It’s really depressing to think about the decline of linguistic traditions in the US outside of English. Acadian French, Texas German, and Louisiana French are all in the decline, and then there are the many indigenous languages declining in number 😢

Accents are even dying out too. Everyone is starting to just have a generalized American English accent

Yeah it’s happening all of the world. I guess that’s how things always went though, languages do die out eventually. Still it’s sad, and makes it more sad when it’s a product of colonialism and oppression
